If you’re looking for protein-packed recipes to add to your weekly meal plan, you’re in the right place! Our collection of 30 High Protein Recipes is exactly what you need to kick-start your healthy eating and increase your protein intake for breakfast, lunch or dinner! These high-protein recipes are easy to make, nutritious, and so delicious, you won’t be able to stop making them!
High protein recipes are a favourite with busy families because they’re satisfying, flavourful, and help keep you full for longer. Whether you’re prioritizing your health and fitness and trying to hit your protein goals, fuel up after a busy day, or simply enjoy a meal that leaves you feeling energized and satisfied, protein-rich meals are always a smart choice!
Hitting your protein goals can be hard, so here’s a few of our favourite ways to make SURE we’ve always got a high-protein option on hand!
- Stock your fridge and pantry with versatile proteins like eggs, chicken, tuna, lentils, and beans that can be turned into a meal easily and quickly.
- Meal-prep your proteins on the weekend so you have most of your meals 50% ready before you even start cooking. Shred up a slow cooker full of chicken breasts or cook up a big pan of ground beef for easy-to-reach-for proteins.
- Pair lean meats or fish with fresh or frozen vegetables and whole grains for balanced, filling meals for the whole family.
- Double your favourite high protein recipes and freeze them for later, so you’ll always have a high protein option on hand in a pinch!
